I Refuse to Believe

When I was a young boy, I remember believing all sorts of crazy stuff. There was a secret cave in Fuji's canyon in suburban La Mirada. (not) There was a crazy serial killer living in the hills, just off the road in Turnbull Canyon between Whittier and Puente Hills. (not) There was a monster living in Laguna Lake in Fullerton that could chomp your foot off in one bite. (yep) That last one was completely true, apparently. I can't believe it.

Equally shocking in a different way is the story today of the arrest made in the shooting deaths of two cafe patrons in Westminster last week. It turns out, a waitress they had offended had some gang member come to kill the offenders.

Now, crazy Vietnamese drivers are not the only reasons to avoid Little Saigon.
